This adorable corner shelf sits in the opposite corner of the suitcase shelf. I purchased it at my favorite little second hand store, Abbey Ann’s, in my hometown of Tallmadge, Ohio. (I make it a point to visit everytime I make it back to Tallmadge.) It was varnished dark wood when I bought it and I applied a creamy white paint for more of the shabby chic look. It holds a handmade clock that I bought a long time ago, the salve tin that my grandfather used to get out for any bumps or bruises, and I pretty tin that I picked up at an auction that now holds our q-tips. Notice the burgandy silky material that lines each shelf … yes, it’s from the suitcase lining and I added a little crocheted lace to the edges. The chippy wrought iron towel hanger was purchased at the Hog Creek Craft and Antique Mall in Allen, Michigan. I think I paid $3 for this gem.

I’m tickled pink at how this corner turned out. It’s right next to the sink where we can now hang a handtowel and it helped get yet another item, q-tips, off the counter.

I created this valance by sewing together cloth table napkins with pink embroidered trim and flowers. It adds a little country feel to the room.

There are a few items left to share and I’ll save them for another day 🙂
